In South Korea, people actually move to 5G; it's not something like just a marketing buzzword :-o

I've seen about ~20 of my friend switching to 5G phones, partially because Youtube buffers when seeing 1080p videos on the 4G network.

1080 on computers right? Because needing 1080 for a phone is super silly.

I was talking about phones... iPhone XS Max, Galaxy S10 Plus, eg... High-res phone's adoption rate is unbelievably high here :-o

You would need to be both a myope and a hypermetrope at the same time. Regular human eyes cannot focus that close for a long time.

How often are South Koreans watching 1080p videos on their phones away from wifi? For me as an American, the answer is “almost never”. Buying a whole new phone to optimize an experience I might have once or twice a year seems excessive to me.

Pretty often?̊̈ I think I'm watching 1080p videos on my data plan at least 3~4 times a week?
